Luna's Habiting Through The Forest, By Dilys
The first time Dilys saw her wandering through the Forest, she sensed something blue. The girl’s aura was a deep hue of midnight blue—the colour of gloom. Dilys couldn’t quite understand how a little girl—somewhere between her childhood and adulthood, it seemed—could have been so melancholic, and she found that she wanted to help this girl, for her smile to become genuine, for her colour to lighten.

The girl wore a small, dreamy smile on her face; Dilys, however, could see through it. On the inside, the girl’s soul was broken into a million pieces. Dilys wondered why, and she also wondered what or who could have done that to the girl. Regrettably, it was unlikely that Dilys would ever know. No animals or humans ever talked to Stygian creatures like her. Her kind was

Over the next couple of months, she and Luna met often; Luna would tell stories about her life while Dilys would scrutinise her for any changes of colour in her aura. Most of the time, it was still deep blue, although Dilys noticed that it would always be a bit brighter after each visit.

One time, months after their first meeting, Luna came to meet her, Dilys wasn’t alone, but with her infant child Mabyn. The girl’s aura wasn’t as deep of a blue as it had been the first time they had met; it was somewhat closer to a turquoise shade now—blue and green. Calmness mixed with sorrow was emitting out of her.

Soon, another human joined her, one who Dilys recognised as Harry, the boy Luna had been talking about. He was a dull shade of grey, the colour of depression and despair. Dilys, while watching her daughter eating a piece of meat, stole a glance at the boy. The boy seemed quite distant, although she knew he could see both her and her child. Dilys supposed it must have been because of his

    Column chromatography was invented by Tswett in 1906 so that his study of the chemistry of chlorophyll could be facilitated. Tswett made significant advances in the method and demonstrated its applicability to the separation of many different kinds of mixtures. Column chromatography rapidly found application in all areas of chemistry and is used extensively today because it is a simple but powerful tool for the separation of pure compounds from a complex mixture. It cannot affect the same degree of separation as TLC, but its advantage over TLC is the fact that large amounts of mixtures (over 5 g) can easily be treated by this method. There are, however, a number of important similarities between TLC and column chromatography which, when the two methods are used in complementary fashion, allow preparative separations to be accomplished easily and quickly. The same comments that were made concerning adsorbents and solvents for TLC apply also to column chromatography. In particular, by using TLC initially to determine a solvent system for separation of a mixture, one can quickly find the solvent system that will effect separation of the same mixture on a column of the same adsorbent. (In other words, if a particular solvent system effects separation on, say, alumina with TLC, a very similar solvent system will effect separation of a column, provided that alumina of the same type is used as adsorbent.…

    Spaulding begins her essay with a detailed personal testimony that describes the deep emotional connection she feels for darkness. In part of the second paragraph she states, “the sky and shore and water were all one inky darkness though stars sparkled on the watery surface,” (83).

    Love is a complex emotion. It has the ability to make you feel like you are flying, literally touching and seeing heaven. Yet it also has the ability to break your heart into a thousand pieces, hurt you in ways you never could have dreamed possible, make you feel all at once like you are living a nightmare and dying at the same time. Love can be wondrous when given freely and unconditionally, or it can be dangerous when wielded as a weapon. There is no love more multifaceted then that of a parent and child. The relationship between Vivi and Sidda personifies both ends of the love spectrum, oftentimes, to the extreme. Through Rebecca Wells’s “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood” we are able to see Vivi’s beautiful, life giving love of Sidda, as well as the ease with which she brandishes her manipulation of the most painful aspects of love. Through Sidda we witness a child’s desperate need for approval, an unending desire to please and placate a mother who is both emotionally absent, and emotionally smothering, sometimes in the same breath. The “Divine Secrets” is a psychologically draining journey of a daughter’s quest to understanding the secrets to her mothers love.…

    highlights the poppy’s impact as well as how it catalyses a connection to the past and the hidden memories. The short sentences create a series of substantial pauses after each utterance of ‘scarlet’ which along with the repetition, establishes for the reader, the significance of colour in stirring Ovid’s memories. The compound word of ‘far-off’ however, implies that Ovid’s journey towards self-knowledge will be a long one.…

    Consider the similarities between Joy and Mary Grace, the nineteen-year-old teenager with sever acne problems. O 'conner describes both women having bright vividly blue eyes. Her eyes icy blue, with the look of someone who has achieved blindness by an act and means to keep it (O 'conner, Country 417). Like Joy, Mary Grace 's eyes become brilliantly blue when she attacks Mrs. Turpin with her thick blue book. They seemed a much lighter blue than before as if a door that had been tightly closed behind them was now open to admit light and air (O 'conner, Revelation 452). She also describes Joy as being a large woman with an apparent affliction. Joy was her daughter, a large blonde girl who had an artificial leg (O 'conner, Country 416). Mary Grace 's description is the same. Next to her was a fat girl of eighteen or nineteen, scowling into a thick blue book which Mrs. Turpin saw was entitled Human Development (O 'conner, Revelation 444).…
